'l he most spectacular result was the founding of the (‘hutch Army by Wilson (arlile in I883.

A quarter of a century earlier. some Naval oflicers aml a chaplain at Devonport had had similar ideas, resulting in the foundation of the Royal Naval Scripture Readers Society to provide laymen to augment the work of the comparatively few chaplains by visiting sailors and Royal Marines especially in those ships in which no chaplain was borne.

At that time illiteracy was common and much of their work consisted in reading the Scriptures aloud. Later on. as a higher standard of education become more general. the readers

expected to give ruore time to study and. after examination. were licensed by the Archbishop of Canterbury as Royal Naval Lay Readers.

The society's name accordingly became the Royal Naval l.ay Readers‘ Society.

More to the Point This change of names had its drawhacks—“(‘hurch Navy" would have hcen more to the point. The title of “Lay Reader" is misleading. because it suggests to most people that his main function is to conduct services and preach sermons. and this is not so. The main concern of a Naval Lay Reader is to get to know and to be known by individuals—to make friends——and thus to provide opportunities for the Kingdom of (Sod to spread from man to man by contagion. rather than by tnztss indoctrination, As a convinced Christian he is doing his best to practise. to learn and to spread his Faith. :\lo\t readers have served in the Royal Navy or Royal .\larines.
